§ 76.104. Review authority—National Register of Historic Places; procedures.

With respect to the National Register of Historic Places, the Commission shall have the following authority:

(a)

The Commission shall review all nominations of local property to the National Register of Historic Places pursuant to the regulations established by the State Historic Preservation Officer. The Commission shall request the Mayor or his designee and the President of the City Council to render written opinions as to whether each property should be nominated to the National Register. Following the notice and hearing requirements of Chapter 307, Ordinance Code, and after notifying the applicant and property owner thirty days prior to the public hearing, the Commission shall review the nomination. The Commission may seek expert advice while reviewing the nomination. The Commission shall forward to the State Historic Preservation Officer its recommendation on the nomination and the recommendations of the local officials.

(b)

If a property owner objects to the nomination of his property to the National Register, he shall submit a notarized written statement at any time prior to consideration of the nomination by the Commission. The Commission may then either continue its review, forwarding its recommendation to the State Historic Preservation Officer and note the property owner's objection or, it may cease any further review process and notify the State Historic Preservation Officer of the property owner's objection to the proposed listing.

(c)

In the development of the Certified Local Government Program, as provided in the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended in 1980 (Pub. Law 96-515), the City Council may ask the Commission to perform such other responsibilities as may be delegated to the City from time to time pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act.
